He is a regular commentator in the media and contributor to the Zoopla web page on the 3% surcharge here, which explains the outline of the surcharge and has links to other resources such as the legislation and HMRC guidance.

These might be of interest to a variety of people, but are mainly aimed at other property lawyers.
